The Hon Amanda Stoker is an Australian politician who became a Senator for Queensland in 2018 until 2022. Stoker held the ministerial portfolios of Assistant Minister to the Attorney-General, Industrial Relations and Women in the Morrison government.
Stoker was born in the Sydney suburb of Liverpool and completed her HSC at Hurlstone Agricultural High School before studying arts and law at Sydney University, graduating with first-class honours.

Stoker began her career as a clerk and solicitor in Brisbane with Minter Ellison in 2006. She went on to serve as a Commonwealth prosecutor, as well as a judge’s associate in the Supreme Court of Queensland, and in the High Court of Australia.

Prior to her appointment to the Senate, Stoker was a member of Level Twenty-Seven Chambers and a sessional academic at Central Queensland University. She was vice-president of the Women Lawyers Association of Queensland from 2016 to 2018.

In 2020, The Australian named Stoker a “free speech champion and rising star of conservative politics”. Stoker is a self-described “proud conservative” Christian who believes Christian values are “under attack”. Her political heroes are former prime minister John Howard and former UK leader Margaret Thatcher.

The Catholic Leader wrote that, in her maiden speech, she had made the “brave observation” that “Australians don’t trust politicians. In fact, Australians are losing faith across the four sectors of the economy – government, media, corporate and non-government organisations”. Stoker has spoken out against abortion and opposes the introduction of voluntary euthanasia legislation. Stoker is a proponent for the introduction of a “religious discrimination bill”.

Stoker was unsuccessful in her re-election bid in the 2022 federal election and departed the Senate on 30 June 2022.
Stoker lives with her family in Auchenflower, a suburb of Brisbane. She married her husband, Adam, in 2005 and they have three daughters. She is a Christian and attends an Anglican church in inner-city Brisbane.
